920506 - (Non-fatal?) Mach build error on tbird ESR24

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 863409

(Thunderbird :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Mark Straver]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20130917 Firefox/24.0 PaleMoon/24.0.1 (Nightly/Aurora)
Build ID: 20130917025222

Steps to reproduce:

Following the "simple thunderbird build" instructions on MDN:
- Set up build environment, including setting $OBJDIR in .mozconfig
- Clone comm-esr24 from hg
- python client.py checkout
- Build mail application with ./mozilla/mach build



Actual results:

At the end of a full build (so probably non-fatal), mach throws the following error:

...
We know it took a while, but your build finally finished successfully!
Error running mach:

    ['build']

The error occurred in code that was called by the mach command. This is either
a bug in the called code itself or in the way that mach is calling it.

You should consider filing a bug for this issue.

If filing a bug, please include the full output of mach, including this error
message.

The details of the failure are as follows:

Exception: Binary expected at e:\mozdev\mail24/build-optimized\dist\bin\thunderbird.exe does not exist.

  File "e:\mozdev\mail24\mozilla\python/mozbuild/mozbuild/mach_commands.py", line 353, in build

    app_path = self.get_binary_path('app')
  File "e:\mozdev\mail24\mozilla\python/mozbuild\mozbuild\base.py", line 279, in get_binary_path
    raise Exception('Binary expected at %s does not exist.' % path)


Expected results:

No error should be thrown.

Of note, the path is incorrect: the executables are not created in 
build-optimized\dist\bin 
but in 
build-optimized\mozilla\dist\bin
